Mika Rottenberg
Mika Rottenberg développe une pratique artistique qui conjugue la réalisation de vidéos, d’installations, de dessins et de sculptures. Dans de nombreuses de ses œuvres, elle met en scène des situations absurdes de travail à la chaîne, souvent interprétées par des femmes. Leurs corps, hors des normes et loin des canons habituels, sont entièrement mobilisés et utilisés comme outils de travail et matières premières. Captivants récits où la fantaisie et l’humour se mêlent à l’étrangeté et où le réel semble se distordre dans la fiction, les films de Mika Rottenberg sont montrés au sein d’installations immersives qui plongent les spectateurs dans leur univers au-delà de l’écran et participent ainsi à brouiller les frontières entre imaginaire et réalité. Livre publié à l’occasion de l’exposition personnelle de Mika Rottenberg au Palais de Tokyo, 23.06 – 11.09 2016

The Turks and Islam in Reformation Germany
Although their role is often neglected in standard historical narratives of the Reformation, the Ottoman Turks were an important concern of many leading thinkers in early modern Germany, including Martin Luther. In the minds of many, the Turks formed a fearsome, crescent-shaped horizon that threatened to break through and overwhelm. Based on an analysis of more than 300 pamphlets and other publications across all genres and including both popular and scholarly writings, this book is the most extensive treatment in English on views of the Turks and Islam in German-speaking lands during this period. In addition to providing a summary of what was believed about Islam and the Turks in early modern Germany, this book argues that new factors, including increased contact with the Ottomans as well as the specific theological ideas developed during the Protestant Reformation, destabilized traditional paradigms without completely displacing inherited medieval understandings. This book makes important contributions to understanding the role of the Turks in the confessional conflicts of the Reformation and to the broader history of Western views of Islam.
Photography and Cinema
Eclecticism seems to be one of the most recognized features of Chris Marker's work. He is often presented as a filmmaker and a photographer, a poet, a translator, a cartoonist, a visual artist, an editor, a software designer and a television and video director. Given the 50 years since the release of his most well-known film, La Jetée (1963), this volume fosters discussion of the intertwining of photography and cinema within a framework that analyses Marker's influence in film and photography's scholarship. In the last ten years, many books have been published on the subjects of photography and.
The Soul of a Nation Reader
A comprehensive compendium of artists and writers confronting questions of Black identity, activism and social responsibility in the age of Malcolm X and the Black Panthers, based on the landmark traveling exhibition What is "Black art"? This question was posed and answered time and time again between 1960 and 1980 by artists, curators and critics deeply affected by this turbulent period of radical social and political upheaval in America. Rather than answering in one way, they argued for radically different ideas of what "Black art" meant. Across newspapers and magazines, catalogs, pamphlets, interviews, public talks and panel discussions, a lively debate emerged between artists and others ...
